Gentle On My Mind

In the style of

Glen Campbell

Lyrics

it's knowin'
that your door
is always open
and your path
is free to walk

that makes me
tend to leave
my sleepin' bag
rolled up and stashed
behind your couch

and it's knowin'
i'm not shackled
by forgotten words
and bonds
and the ink stains
that are dried
upon some line

that keeps you
in the back roads
by the rivers
of my memory
and keeps you ever
gentle on my mind

it's not clingin'
to the rocks and ivy
planted on
their columns now
that bind me

or somethin'
that somebody said
because they
thought we fit
together walkin'

it's just knowing
that the world
will not be
cursing or forgiving
when i walk along
some railroad track
and find

that you're moving
on the back roads
by the rivers
of my memory
and for hours
you're just gentle
on my mind

though the
wheat fields
and the clotheslines
and the junkyards
and the highways
come between us

and some
other woman's
cryin' to her mother
'cause she turned
and i was gone

i still might
run in silence
tears of joy
might stain my face
and a summer sun
might burn me
till i'm blind

but not to where
i cannot see you
walking
on the back roads
by the rivers
flowin' gentle
on my mind

i dip my cup of soup
back from a gurglin'
crackin' cauldron
in some train yard

my beard
a roughenin' coal pile
and a dirty hat
pulled low
across my face

through cupped hands
'round the tin can
i pretend to hold you
to my breast and find

that you're waitin'
from the back roads
by the rivers
of my memories
ever smilin' ever
gentle on my mind
